Accidental Art While I Was Working II

You just never know whats coming next .... I picked this up outside the finish room last week, propped it up on top of the electric meter and gave it a name .... My Four Best Friends ... its actually a piece of plywood Trevor put down under some frames that he sprayed black before he put speaker cloth on them. We all liked it .... David Smith made a number of colorings by arranging steel scraps on paper and spray coloring them ... Ive seen some of them in person and theyre very cool.
Later that week, while trying to get a natural edge on a seat plank for a stool Im fooling around with, some really fine shavings came of the process. You need a sharp slick and a consistent push but the pine shavings curl up into amazing shapes ... Click the pictures to enlarge them and have at it yourself .. You might be able to get the same result with your largest chisel and judicious use of a mallet.
How do it know?
Ive got these long pieces of curved ash I want to make into a sculpture of some sort ... the details are simmering ... waiting for that lightning bolt to strike ...
